LISZT Franz (1811-1886)
L.A.S. "F. Liszt", Vienna, August 6, 1846, to Count Gustave de NEIPPERG]| 5.5 pages in-8 on blue paper with crowned BATH stamp| in French.

Dr. Michel Arthur CASTLE, who lived in

It is almost impossible to judge certain Parisian reports (those of advertising for example) without having made a fairly long and practical stay there.
